Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-20-1987

Reported in: (1994)IIILLJ694Bom

H.H. Kantharia, J.1. The petitioner was in the employment of the first respondent as a clerk from 7th March, 1970. He was dismissed with effect from 3rd June, 1975 on the ground that certain charges levelled against him were proved in a domestic enquiry. The petitioner raised an industrial dispute for his reinstatement with continuity of service and back wages. The dispute was referred to the Labour Court at Kolhapur. The learned Labour Judge, on considering the evidence adduced before him, came to a conclusion that two out of the three allegations made against the petitioner were not proved and the third allegation was proved but it did not amount to a misconduct. He was of the opinion that the punishment of dismissal inflicted on the petitioner was too harsh but since the first respondent had reasonable grounds to lose confidence in the petitioner, which did not amount to punishment, he should be deemed to have been retrenched from service from the day of the award made on 26th Febru...

Joti Dadu Navale Vs. Manukabai Kashinath Mohite

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Aug-19-1987

Reported in: AIR1988Bom348; 1987(3)BomCR252

1. The only point which the learned Counsel for the appellant succeeded in putting across to the Court was that he is a champion optimist. I will presently mention the nature of optimism.2. The facts are very simple.One Dadu Tukaram Navale had the misfortune of not only having large property, but also an unrealistic bent of mind actuating him to adopt a very young boy of 33 years of age, a married man at that time at that, as his adoptive son. This adoption took place on 9-6-1958. Immediately thereafter, on 29-9-1958, application for mutation of the name of the adoptive son, defendant in this case, came to be made for entering his name in the Revenue Record. Entry in that behalf was made on 29-9-1958 and it was certified on 23-12-1958. Dadu did not live long thereafter to experience the curse of penitence in full. He died on 28-4-1959, living behind the present respondent, plaintiff in the suit, and the present appellant, defendant in the suit, as his only heirs. As will be presently p...
